Slide Out Won't Close At Bottom

Question: My slide out on my RV doesnt close all the way at top bottom is in flush but top is out about 2 inches...How can i get it to close i am thinking a adjustment is needed.

Robbie: This is a sensitive adjustment in that I strongly suggest you take the Motorhome or trailer in and have a Qualified Service Center make the adjustment. You can do a lot of damage to a slide making the wrong adjustments. Some adjustments require two techs. I had a customer a few months ago try to adjust his own slide and when he closed it, it tore a huge hole in his linoleum flooring. A small adjustment can have huge consequences. Please don't try this yourself. You also need to find out why the slide adjustment has changed.
